Abstract: A method for manufacturing a skin from a plastic material. The method includes the following steps: producing a first part of the skin having a property according to a first level, producing a second part of the skin extending the first part and having the property at the first level on a first edge in contact with the first part and a second level on a second edge in contact with a third part of the skin extending the second part, and producing the third part of the skin having the property at the second level, the production steps being carried out using additive technology, such as 3D printing. Also provided is a skin obtained by such a method.

Abstract: A vehicle trim element has a panel that includes at least one colored mask having solid areas and at least one aperture delimiting a pattern, and a colored screen transmitting light and closing each aperture of the mask. The mask and the screen are substantially of the same color so that the pattern is visible when the panel is backlit and substantially invisible in the absence of backlighting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an interior trim component for a motor vehicle, in particular a dashboard, adapted for covering an airbag. The trim component is adapted to break along a main weakening line during deployment of the airbag, said trim component comprising an inside area relative to the main weakening line which defines a flap intended to extend over the airbag. The trim component comprises a notched element comprising a plurality of disjoint notches following one another along the main weakening line and having a generally concave shape relative to the inside area.
